Hollow Victory
Canvas, mirrored sunglass lenses
24 x 48 in. (flat)
Inspired by the nearby Nike Missile Site, this garment (also called a ghillie cape) is made to clothe the goddess of Victory that the facility is named for, were she ever to return. It is all-seeing, in the sense that it is made of many “eyes” but also a disguise that cloaks the wearer in reflections of the landscape.
Hope Chest
Quilted cotton, embroidery thread, spray paint
72 x 84 in.
Made from novelty “bikini” T-shirts that have been dissected and reconfigured, “Hope Chest” is an examination of inheritance, both genetic and cultural, and the desire to embrace some narratives while rejecting others.
